Your Neighborhood School in South Philadelphia
Welcome to Thomas Campus, a free, public charter school serving students in seventh through twelfth grades.
We provide rigorous academic instruction to our students and in school year 2019-2020, our school was recognized by the Pennsylvania Department of Education for closing the achievement gap for students.
Our sophomore students participate in an internship program to explore various career pathways, and our upperclassmen can take AP classes and participate in a dual enrollment program to earn college credits while they are still in high school.
Students can also participate in extracurricular activities and athletic programs to enhance their school experience.
At Thomas, all students learn and thrive. With love and high expectations, we support them in finding their own paths to success.
